Merchant Cash Advance for a 550–599 Credit Score

Short answer: Yes — a 550–599 FICO clears Byzfunder's Merchant Cash Advance floor (525+), and your business revenue carries real weight in the decision.

What a 550–599 score means

A 550–599 FICO is considered subprime. A 550–599 score closes most bank doors, but strong, steady deposits can still earn an approval on business performance. Byzfunder underwrites on business performance — your revenue, deposit consistency, and time in business carry real weight, not just the number.

How Merchant Cash Advance works at this score

A Merchant Cash Advance is a purchase of your future receivables — not a loan. You get capital upfront and repay as a small, flexible share of daily sales. Because repayment flexes with your daily sales and the decision leans on revenue, an MCA fits businesses across the credit spectrum — your revenue does the talking.

What you'll typically need

• FICO: 525+ (you're in range)
• Revenue: typically $20,000+ in monthly revenue — strong deposits can outweigh a lower score
• Time in business: the longer your track record, the better your terms
• Documents: a short application plus a few months of business bank statements

There's no "guaranteed approval" — every file is reviewed on its merits. But at 550–599, your score is an asset, not an obstacle.

How to strengthen your file

• Keep business deposits steady and in a dedicated business account
• Avoid overdrafts and negative days in the months before you apply
• Apply when revenue is trending up, not down
• Have recent bank statements ready to speed the decision
